Chocolate Chip Muffin, Average

Chip 'n Stale

We know the ugly truth about conventional baked goods: Many are too large, most are loaded with crazy amounts of calories and sugar, and few are worth their nutritional price tag. But instead of hanging around with our noses pressed against those glass bakery cases, we pass 'em by. Why? With lightened-up chocolate-dotted muffins like ours, there's no reason to inhale 350+ calories and 16g fat -- and those stats are for a modestly sized muffin! The jumbo versions served up at SO many places pack around 620 calories and 30g fat each (PointsPlus® value 17*). Over the years, we've conquered blueberry, zucchini nut, and pumpkin muffins; we knew that chocolate chip muffins HAD to be next. These guys are fluffy, sweet, and choco-licious. Bake up a batch now, and you'll be snacking safely for several days. So stay away from that bakery case -- the store employees will surely appreciate fewer smudges on the glass.
